I read enough in the blaster forum that convinced me not to make an arch/dev. Not what you wanted to hear, but it helps explain the scarcity of the build.
just made a arch/nrg, like it alot....devices? not a chance....the only useful power there imo is targeting drone and archery already gets a acc bonus of what? 16%?

well, web grenade and caltrops aren't totally worthless to a blaster. keeps those melee mobs off of you or let's you run away and regroup.
but yeah, I tried to make an arrow/dev. got him to around 24 and he wasn't too bad. then I made a second arrow with energy secondary and enjoying it a whole lot more.
devices, in general, just seems so weak since ED. I used to have several DEV characters because I could slot targeting drone with 4 or 5 to hit buffs and then slot attacks with 5 or 6 damage. was a reasonable trade-off for not having build up but with the current effective limit of 3 damage in attacks, it just isn't worth it any more (IMHO, of course)

Was on page 1 of the guide forum...
I have a level 38 Arch/Dev. She is so underpowered that she is at best a support blaster.
She was great from the mid teens to about the 30's then the /dev not having decent high level powers beings to show. Add this to the weakness (to othre blasters ) of stunning shot and rain of arrows and its difficult to play.
Caltrops, smoke grenade, targetting drone, and cloaking device are great and make the 20's fun. Ranged shot, blazing arrow, and aimed shot are all nice pieces of the attack chain.
At level 38, blasters and Scrappers can solo and dominate Warburg missions from Rugged to Invincible depending on build all the way to level 50. The Archery/Devices blaster struggles through them on heroic.
Alt-holic - Always have characters from startup to 50 as scrappers or Defenders.
My serialized story about world created so badly the creatures fight back.
Okay, thought about building a new blaster and going the Arch/Dev route but I've found only one Archery/Dev guide. Is this a ridiculous combo or is it so rare that no one has a guide for it? I'm all for originality in this game so the rarer the build the better but I still would like some help or ideas on which way to go. I've seen enough Robin Hood/ Green Arrow wannabes while playing so I know you're out there. Any other threads I can check out? Thanks for the vine.
